Agree on both counts.  I had a great debate with jsshap [good poster] about Flynn's readiness level, in terms of his game.  He felt like he was ready, I thought that the year of starting / playing extensively for around 40 games in college would have been of tremendous benefit to Flynn.  Tough call, because as you point out his hype was sky-high, and that made it tough for him not to jump at the opportunity.  And obviously he was drafted #6, so...
 
And no question--Donte made a bad decision.  I wonder what might have happened if he his girlfriend hadn't gotten pregnant at that exact timeframe.  That next season--when we were pretty good anyway--might have been a year where we could have challenged for the final four, with a PF with Greene's ability.
 
This is going to be unpopular, but on the flipside, you never know how teams will gel.  Flynn was CLEARLY better than the guards we had in '10, but I doubt we would have been as good of a team with him predominating the ball instead of the unselfish, tremendously balanced offensive team we had that next year.  And who knows whether Rautins would have emerged like he did, or if he would have deferred to Flynn.  Team chemistry is very delicate.
